If you need to bridge LocalTalk to Ethernet in 2023, these Asante AsanteTalk devices are garbage
I was struggling with them for years, dealing with devices not showing up in Chooser, devices that would take ~30 seconds to show up, and having to restart Netatalk and the AsanteTalk in some magic voodoo order to make everything work
I replaced mine with a Farallon EtherMac iPrint (not just for printers) and all of my problems went away and all devices show up instantly, every time
I told this to a friend the other week who was having similar problems with an AsanteTalk which were solved by switching to a Farallon device
